Probable Cause of rirlDK Off the Flori da Coast. St. AuausTiNEr Flai, Aag. 2.1. Last night heavy firing at .sea ; by rapid-fire gnns and the rays of the searchlight brought out the people of this city. The whole affair was carefully noted by the officers of the First artillery from their quarters in St. Francis barracks, who are positive that the vessel fired not less than 40 shots, first rapidly and then at intervals, ceasing as if the object of the chase was caught. Then the rapid fir ing would be resumed. The ship, probably a war vessel, could not come nearer than about five miles off shore, and was evidently chasing a light-draught boat, as the flashes came from the starboard gun. ' . The coast is idented by a sand strip reaching out to about one mile off this bar, and it forms the cone of Anastasia lighthouse, straight down the coast for 14 miles to Matanzas inlet. The St. Augustine bar bad but seven feet of water on it at the stage of the tide when the tiring commenced, which would have prevented the coming over of the Three friends or Dauntless, were those the vessels chased. There was only four feet of water on Matanzas inlet, unless a vessel could make this harbor she would either have to put to eea or surrender. For this reason indications point to the fleeing boat taking an easterly course. When the firing commenced a squall was on and the night was very dark. Dr. King's New Discovery for Cosump- tlon.

Captain-Gener al Weyler, in a cable dispatch from Ha vana to the World, denies the report that Evangelina Cisneros, a Cuban girl of 19, a sensational beauty, of gentle breeding and pure life, bad been tried or sentenced to imprisonment for two years in the Spanish penal colony at Ceuta. The girl is the niece of the president of the Cuban republic. General Weyler's dispatch to the World reads as follows : "For judicial reasons there is on trial in the preliminary stages a person named Evangelina Cisneros, who, deceitfully luring to her house the military com mander of the Isle of Pines, had accom plices posted secretly, who tied him and attempted to assassinate him. The case is in the preliminary stages and has not as yet been tried by a competent tribu nal, and consequently no sentence has been passed or approved by me.
